You can protect an SD card so that the samples and patterns on the card cannot be overwritten or deleted accidentally.
NOTE: On the SD card included with the SP-404A, sample banks and pattern banks contain preload data and are protected. If you cancel protection for these banks, it is possible that the data may be overwritten or deleted. If you want to restore the SD card to its factory-set state, refer to “Restoring the Factory Settings (Factory Reset)”
Protecting All Samples and Patterns
- While holding down the [REMAIN] button, turn on the power.
The display will indicate “P.on,” and the samples and patterns of banks A–J will be protected.
NOTE: If you use an SD card with the same SP-404A, the card banks will also be protected, but the card will not be protected when used with your computer.
MEMO: This setting is retained even while the power is turned off.
